In this, the inaugural year of the Awards, Wilson’s Country has been searching for nominations for unsung heroes in your local community who give up their own time and go to extra effort to help others.

Angus Wilson of Wilson’s Potatoes said: “We all know someone who regularly goes beyond the call of duty, an inspirational teacher, an enthusiastic coach or someone who is simply a good neighbour. We want Northern Ireland residents to nominate these unsung heros and give them the chance to walk away with a 2,000 holiday.

“Nominations have been steadily coming in but there is still time left to enter and we are keen to receive your nominations and give any ‘Good Spud’s’ you know the chance to be rewarded.” To help make nominating your ‘Good Spud’ easy, Wilson’s Country has devised 7 Award categories including Teacher / Classroom Assistant of the Year, Sporting Volunteer of the Year, Carer of the Year, Grandparent(s) of the Year, Youth Leader / Helper of the Year, Charity Volunteer of the Year and The Extra Mile Award.
